Whether God, or the physical reality, or the infinite chain of cause and effect, or the laws that can bring universes into being etc, something has always had to have been. And I can't see what would make one more or less likely or absurd than another. All seem to be absurd brute facts.
So why not just say that physicalist reality has always been? We all agree it currently exists, why posit another unnecessary unknown that solves nothing?
